Türkiye: If anyone is thinking of attacking, they will see the capability of S400

According to the report of Fars News Agency, Turkish Defense Minister Yashar Güler said that the country’s army is ready to use Russian-made S-400 surface-to-air missile systems in case of any possible attack.

According to the news agency “Tass” Güler stated: “S-400 is a defensive weapon. If we are attacked, our military knows what to do at a professional level. In the event of an attack, you will see how the S-400 or our other air defense systems will be used.” It has bought billions of dollars from Russia.

Turkey received the first S-400 series in July 2019, despite warnings from Washington and the threat of US sanctions.

In response, Washington, Turkey removed from the F-35 fighter parts manufacturing program, which Ankara was the manufacturer and buyer of. Turkey has not used it since purchasing this missile system.

According to Turkey’s western allies, the S-400 is a mobile surface-to-air missile system that could pose a threat to NATO.

The Ministry of Defense of Turkey recently announced the successful test of the “Shield-2” missile defense system, which according to this country is similar to the American “Patriot” system. In addition to the shield air defense system, there are other air defense systems that are supposed to provide layered air defense for Turkey. “Russian production was sanctioned by the United States in 2017 and expelled from the F-35 stealth fighter program of the Lockheed Martin company.”
